Knowledge Maps

The Knowledge Maps have been my first attempt for creating a design-driven data visualisation!

During my time at the Fraunhofer Gesellschaft (Institut für Medienkommunikation), I
participated in the development of the netzspannung.org Knowledge Maps. The basic idea
behind these visualisations is to graphically present and communicate the content of
the netzspannung.org database as well as visualising metadata about the
content. The graphical visualisation presents the data in a intuitive
way, so the constellations of the data form a statement about their
contextual sourroundings..

The Knowledge Maps are part of the netzspannung.org project that was lead by
Monika Fleischmann and Wolfgang Strauss at the Fraunhofer Gesellschaft - Institute for Media Communication. The
netzspannung.org project was funded by the German Ministry for Education
and Research (BMBF).
